Parker has entered into a partnership with Big Truck Rental to offer refuse trucks equipped with the RunWise Advanced Series Hybrid Drive System for rent.
RunWise is the first hybrid technology widely available in rental markets.
“Our partnership with Big Truck Rental gives municipalities and fleet managers the opportunity to test and experience the significant savings and environmental benefits of the RunWise-equipped trucks and learn how their fleets can benefit from hybrid technology."
Shane Terblanche, general manager, hybrid drive systems at Parker Hannifin.
The Autocar E3 equipped with RunWise technology is now available through Big Truck Rental to all municipalities and waste management companies on a rent-to-own basis. RunWise global commercial truck customers have already surpassed one million miles of operation with reduced fuel consumption by up to 50 percent and reduced maintenance costs.
“Our customers have been asking for a technology that can reduce operating costs while providing an environmental benefit. Parker RunWise is the premier cost-reducing technology on the commercial market and we are excited to address our customers’ needs.”
Scott Dols, president and CEO of Big Truck Rental.
Parker Hannifin and Big Truck Rental will display a refuse truck at the WasteExpo in Atlanta, Ga. from April 29 to May 1. Both companies will also be exhibiting at the ACT Expo in Long Beach, Calif. from May 5 to May 8.
